The density of crude oil is between 0,75-1,05g/cm3.
The density of water is 1 g/ml.
The density of baby oil is 0.833 g/ml.
The density of vegetable oil is 0.894 g/ml.
Then we found plastic that had a density between vegetable oil and water, which is Polypropylene. It has a density of 0.90-0.91 g/ml.
Seawater has a density of 1.025 g/ml.
